DAY 36 of 12/12 ~ DAY 15 of Flower
So I managed to get some pics of the girls after the lights went out last night. Man are they looking mean and green! I absolutely love this phase of their growth cycle, buds are forming up and who knows how big they'll get! I'll try and get some better pics of GSC #2 later so you can see the difference between her and her sister. GSC # 2 seems like it's just a little bit behind GSC # 1 but the buds are looking totally different. The pistils on #1 are smaller and more dense while on #2 they're larger and fewer. It should be really interesting to see how they start to form up as the days go by. My prediction, GSC # 1 is going to be the producer with many small to medium colas; GSC # 2 isn't going to produce like her sister but the colas she does have will be medium to large and could take a few extra days to finish.
The smell in the room is really starting to kick off too, even with my scrubber the room is starting to get stanky. I got my new bottle of Bud Candy yesterday so I added 75ml of that to the solution, brought my ppms up to 730. These girls are drinking a lot of water now, I'd say at least a gallon a day if not more. Maybe on my next go around I'll add a secondary reservoir with plain ol' H2O just so I don't have to be constantly topping off the system. Really it hasn't been an issue up until this point, and while it isn't a big deal, it would save me a few minutes each day, something to mull over I suppose.
Biglittlejohn, even though I am mildly annoyed regarding the shenanigans surrounding the GSC's strain lineage, I'm not upset that I shelled out some dough to get my hands on them. They've been nothing but epic growers and it looks like they're going to be continuing that trend throughout flower. Maybe I'm just a bit starry eyed as this grow really has gone perfectly, and with all my other grows I had some sort of issue raise it's ugly head, but regardless, I think these girls are gonna turn out to be some epic head stash and I am thoroughly looking forward to my first taste of the finished product. But that's awesome you got your GSC as a freebie, seed banks throw in some good shit sometimes. I got some Reserva Privada Kandy Kush freebies a little while back, loved it. Anyway, enjoy the pics!
